17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Round the Night Watchman's Fire" we are transported back in time to the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-17, led by the indomitable Ernest Shackleton. The photographer behind this remarkable image is none other than Frank Hurley (1885-1962), whose lens captured both the beauty and challenges faced by these brave explorers. Set against a backdrop of icy desolation, a group of men huddle closely around a crackling fire that flickers with warmth and camaraderie. Their faces illuminated by dancing flames, they find solace in each other's company amidst an unforgiving Antarctic landscape. It is through their unwavering determination and unity that they defy nature's harsh elements. The photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and spirit of adventure that defined Shackleton's crew. As we gaze upon their weathered expressions, it becomes evident that these men have forged an unbreakable bond through shared hardships and triumphs. They lean on one another for support, finding comfort in knowing they are not alone in this frozen wilderness. Hurley masterfully captures both the physicality of survival and the emotional connection between these explorers. His composition draws our attention to every detail - from worn-out clothing to frost-covered beards - reminding us of their daily struggle for existence. Preserved within the archives at Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, this print offers us a glimpse into history like no other medium can provide. It invites us to reflect on humanity's relentless pursuit of discovery even under extreme circumstances while honoring those who dared venture into uncharted territories. "Round the Night Watchman's Fire" encapsulates bravery, endurance, and human resilience against all odds - an enduring reminder that there are no boundaries when it comes to exploring our world or pushing beyond what seems possible.
